and hope you did, too.
Have you seen the films of Bela Tarr?
Since you appreciate Tark, you'd most probably like him.
And Sokurov....

Never heard of Bela Tarr, but I will do some research on him.
Stalker is worthwhile in some ways, but I didn't like it nearly as much as Solaris.
What is its main message? Mission not accomplished!
And where are the sympathetic characters? Stalker? The Scientist? Perhaps the writer? There is a change in them after their ordeal, but how do we really feel about them? Do we admire them? Do we pity them? The long suffering wife of the Stalker, is she to be admired or pitied or both?. The Stalker's child is perhaps the only one with a future. Can we relate to that?
Unquestionably, his masterwork is the very long (7 hours, or so), "Satantango."
Very few works can be compared to it but I'd put Fassbinder's, "Berlin Alexanderplatz," in that select company.
Before you venture into, "Satantango," though, I'd see Susan Sontag's favorite film of his, "Damnation."
For all of them, be prepared for a different world, a different take on film art. He will reward your "work."
I'd wholeheartedly agree with a critic who said that Tarr's films have a way of drawing in the viewer so that he feels like he's in the landscape, alongside the character.
